Today was a gross, rainy day, a bit chillier than recently but still not cold (I wore only a Polo shirt all day, no jacket or fleece). Still, some family mentioned that perhaps winter weather was here to stay (the immediate forecast is that the next few days will be overcast with scattered rain). I've never experienced a winter here, but Galician winters are considered to be the worst in all of Spain, characterized by heavy rainfall and winds, with temperatures reaching lows of about mid-40s at worst. Considering that's May/springtime weather in Buffalo, I'll gladly take it.
Nevertheless, the thought that I may have gone to the beach for the last time until 2011 is a sad thought. Hopefully it's not true. In a good-vibration-ish effort to channel positive energy, I am posting my favorite beach pictures of this year. The first week we got to Spain, we saw a couple of hippy-looking 20-somethings making this Buddha sand sculpture.
It was impressively large, with incredible detail. Their note (below) says "Thank You" (in Spanish, Galego, and Portuguese) and "We need money to travel the world." Naturally, we were sympathetic to their aim, and appreciated the beach art and threw them some money.
